Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to dynamic channel bonding and multi-band aggregation. A device may determine a plurality of aggregated medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) subframes to send to a station device including a first A-MPDU subframe and a second A-MPDU subframe. The device may determine a quiet period between the first A-MPDU subframe and the second A-MPDU subframe. The device may cause to send the plurality of A-MPDU subframes to the station device on a first channel. The device may determine a status of a second channel during the quiet period. The device may cause to send the second A-MPDU subframe to the station device using a multi-band transmission on the first channel and the second channel.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an access point (AP), user device (STA), and methods for communication between APs and STAs in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an AP performs signal measurements to measure signal strengths of RADAR signals on a wireless communication channel in a frequency spectrum comprising 5 GHz. The AP can detect presence of RADAR signals based on the measured signal strengths. The AP can report the presence of RADAR signals on the channel to an airborne database manager, responsive to detecting RADAR signals on the channel. Other embodiments and methods are also described.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a master station and method for communicating in a high-efficiency Wi-Fi (HEW) network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the master station is arranged to configure an HEW frame for communicating with a plurality of HEW compliant devices. The master station may transmit a master sync transmission that includes synchronization information and may be transmitted at a beginning of an HEW control period. The master station may configure an HEW frame to include an HEW signal field (HEW SIG) as a first field of the frame and may transmit the HEW frame without legacy synchronization information at the beginning of the HEW frame.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to extremely high throughput (EHT) trigger based (TB) preamble. A device may receive a trigger frame from an associated access point (AP), wherein the trigger frame comprises one or more resource unit (RU) bandwidths (BWs) allocated to the device. The device may generate an EHT physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) based on receiving the trigger frame from the access point, wherein the PPDU comprises an EHT preamble that includes a signaling (U-SIG) field. The device may encode the U-SIG field with an indication of one or more resource unit (RU) bandwidth (BW) allocations to be used for sending the PPDU to the AP, wherein the indication is a value associated with a first option of one or more options of selectable RU BWs. The device may cause to send the PPDU to the AP and an uplink data transmission direction.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced L-SIG. A device may generate a frame for 60 gigahertz (GHz) transmission, the frame comprising one or more fields to carry information associated with one or more station devices (STAs). The device may generate a special legacy signal (L-SIG) field comprising one or more subfields for operation in the 60 gigahertz (GHz) transmission. The device may include the L-SIG field in the frame. The device may cause to send the frame to the one or more STAs.

The device may identify an encryption seed sequence to be used for encrypting a first portion of the PHY frame. The device may include an indication of the encryption seed sequence in a first field of one or more fields of the PHY frame. The device may encode the first portion of the PHY frame using the encryption seed sequence. The device may cause to send the PHY frame to the station device.
Abstract:
Today's IEEE 802.11 devices operating in the 2.4/5 GHz bands use a 20 MHz channel as a basic operation unit to maintain coexistence with other 802.11 devices. One exemplary aspect is directed toward using a narrower signal bandwidth (e.g. 2 MHz) in the 2.4/5 GHz bands to reduce transmit/receive power consumption or increase transmission range. However, one problem with introducing a narrow bandwidth signal is how to maintain the coexistence between a legacy IEEE 802.11 device that uses a 20 MHz signal bandwidth and a new IEEE 802.11 device that uses a narrower signal bandwidth.
Abstract:
Techniques have been proposed to transmit a wake-up packet at the central 26-tone resource unit of the IEEE 802.11ax OFDMA structure with a low-power wake-up radio packet within the OFDMA allocation. Prior techniques proposed to multiplex transmission of the wake-up packet with IEEE 802.11ax OFDMA PPDUs; leaving the RUs adjacent to the central 26-tone unassigned to function as guard bands. These guard bands are needed to reduce the impact of the adjacent channel interference on the LP-WUR. One embodiment transmits the 26×20 MHz/256=2.03125 MHz wake-up pulse at the center of (or in general anywhere within) the band (e.g., RU5) without requiring the nulling of the seven DC subcarriers. This moves the wakeup pulse inward leaving larger guard bands between the wake-up packet and the adjacent OFDMA allocations. This at least improves the LP-WUR detection performance and will allow assignment of more RUs to IEEE 802.11ax OFDMA PPDUs—Thereby improving overall system throughput and efficiency.
